Wharfedale Diamond 10 Series Loudspeakers

The Wharfedale Diamond 10 Series lineup of home theater and stereo speakers includes 16 bookshelf, floorstanding, center channel and surround models, along with three powered subwoofers.

Successor to the popular Diamond 9 Series, Wharfedale Diamond 10 Series loudspeakers incorporate numerous refinements to achieve significantly improved sound quality, at suggested retail prices ranging from $299 to $1,299. The speakers feature curved enclosures made from four layers of MDF and other materials, bonded and structurally “locked” together to create extremely rigid yet lightweight, acoustically optimized enclosures. The front baffles are made from a highly stable composite material that has a striking piano-black finish.

The woofers and midrange drivers feature woven and impregnated Kevlar cones (a material not usually found in speakers at the Diamond 10's price points) that are embossed to achieve high stiffness-to-mass and deliver superb clarity. The neodymium-magnet soft-dome tweeter incorporates a metal diffusion grid which smoothes out the high-frequency response and protects the tweeter. All the drivers feature cast-aluminum frames, to minimize resonance and “smear” and contribute to higher efficiency and power handling.
